Notes

This could come together quickly!
There will be a few pops of color but I haven’t decided which ones yet.
The inspiration is a very breezy and convertible mermaid-like thing that I can throw on here in Florida at the peak of summer. I love how the short beaded twisted-loop fringe is working out. I’ve never used it before. (And love that I don’t have to string the beads onto the whole ball of yarn.) Remind me of water drops, as if a mermaiden has just emerged from the ocean.

(Designed during the last week of May, commenced crocheting it July 21.)

Had some unavoidable delays in finishing, otherwise I think it could have only taken 2 days to make.

Only one ball (256 yds) of blue! Not sure if it goes slightly over one ball for the lacing ties.

Pattern is being written now.

Pattern will be called “Aquarienne”. I’ll make a video for it too, now that I’m getting the hang of iMovie.

This is Tunisian crochet with a single crochet moss stitch trim that can be seamed (by lacing) different ways for a convertible poncho, vest/tunic, shawl.

The edges have self-finishing edge of beaded twisted-loop fringe.

Pattern releases later today! Adding final edits now.

OK it’s ready!
